La Robla Albergue is now OPEN!

[peregrina2000]

Just heard from Ender that the papers have been signed, and the bar and albergue will both open soon. All that is needed is a signature or stamp or something from the secretaría. This is such great news.

Is this in the same building as when I walked in 2019? It was a good place to stay.

Yes, it's the same building. The bar adjacent to it will be managed by the same person. Apparently, it is the person who currently has the license to run the municipal pool, so people are very optimistic that it will be run well. It's a great albergue.

I’m in Leon and seriously considering leaving the Frances and jumping on the Salvador. Maybe I’ll see them tomorrow!

Woo hoo!
Good news for both Salvador and Olvidado pilgrims. Please let us know what you find if you do take that right turn, @truenorthpilgrim...and buen camino!

Definitely open! Stayed there a few days ago. 8 bunks. Big kitchen. Microwave. The location in a park is fab. Later in the season there is a bar right there in the park. Laura the hospitalera comes in the evening for registering. And probably not of interest to those on the Salvador, but for those on the Olvidado there is excellent coffee in the croissanteria, which is open early!

thanks for the reassuring news and info on registration. makes the unknown a little less unnerving (been walking a few caminos the past few weeks and it's hard to have an idea of bed availability on different routes)
